did my man read kara no kioku?

[puppykeeper1234]

As a Floridian, I am going to sick an Atlantean far reaches alligator on you

[SpectreTheFox]

Oooooh yes I’m totally getting Vanishing Style. It doesn’t look that good by itself but that’s because black is best when paired with another color. It’ll REALLY shine once imbued. And the vanishing seems pretty good.

[ravvy]

new favorite forumer guys
my gif is tweaking but it works

[TheFollest]

Vetex said it doesn’t really work against npcs at the moment, but his use of “not at the moment” makes it sound like there could possibly be changes to make it work against npcs in the future. Which would be great especially if that also means making other blinding and invisibility stuff work against npcs as well.

[WarmWater]

invisibility does work against npcs (but not atlanteans due to “balance”)

[dukeshade]

yeah but once their on you, they always track you; and thats the problem:

You only get invis after fighting, meaning its useless, unless Vetex is gonna listen to NPC Rework and we’re getting some long awaited NPC changes.

Pretty sure vetex said weapons like the guns & shield will only have 3 skills since there isn’t much you can make with them.

WHAG?! YOU’RE TELLING ME VETEX WENT BACK ON THIS?

Why do guns have so few planned skills?

its just a placeholder, all other skills are planned but at the time we couldn’t think of enough ideas for guns. by the time 4th and 5th weapon skills are added we will have ideas anyway

It’s not even that hard to think of them…

And what about rare guns? Are we just never gonna get more exclusive gun skills? But we got Power Shot so clearly not. If you can add Power Shot why can’t you add more default skills? Or just convert Power Shot to a default skill if you’re so desperate for them.

[SpectreTheFox]

I think it’s interesting that we’ve been getting new islands in groups of two. One related to the story, and one unrelated. We got Pefkos and Monos very close together, and now Rosehenge and the Ice Mines.

The only islands left mentioned by Nilah are Fort Montu and the Hallowed Grove. I wonder if we’ll get those two together or if they’ll each be accompanied by another non-story island?

[GlitchingEclipse]

@SpectreTheFox

It’s probably just a convenience thing tbh. May as well add something else that’s not as important at the same time as a story island

[SpectreTheFox]

I think Misinput was the only tester I saw critique the Nimbus Wilds, so they probably have high standards. Just makes me all the more excited to explore the Ice Mines

I am quite curious what makes Sameria’s ice so special… What is it about that iceberg? Is it just magically irradiated? Or something more sinister, even dangerous?

I LOVE when games let you seek out mysteries all on your own. The ice is such a small lore tidbit only alluded to by like, one guy in Sameria. But it hints toward a place that you can go to and hopefully dig up the answers yourself. I love when very small mysteries unexpectedly turn into big ones, and it’s all in the side content, so you get to feel proud you didn’t miss it.

Anyway, all this is to say, I hope the Ice Mines have a cool secret.

[Crimsonpants]

Plans change all the time.

Besides, first priority should just be to finished whats promised already, then think about expanding from there. We have 16 more moves to go, if you tack on 2 more for all guns and shields thats 8 more skills in total. (2 flintlock, 2 dual, 2 musket, 2 shield)

Yeah, I’d love to see them be on par with the others, but for now there’s enough on the plate that if we just get all the current promised skills we can feel content.

[Sykadelik]

She and Tobi built Blackreach, so you could use that to picture it a bit

Also she and Cryo built Rosehenge

[Yummers]

Actualy if you look at the map Vetex send, nearly all islands have those strange lines that may mean “skyship port” or smth.
Or skyship spawn as with Elius island

[Crimsonpants]

It’s different in a cool way because I’m pretty sure this is the first time a builder has built a story-related island.

(If I’m remembering right, Rosehenge is where Iris will be for this part of the story)

No clue if its actually story important though.

[Yummers]

Some fun things in the showcase:

---

Well well well, sky**ers

Deluxe Dual Swords

When imbued your weapons become semi-invisible.

---

And so, when over 80% focus and you dont attack for a ~1 second, you become invisible. Each 5% over 80 is equals to a tier of invisibiltiy?
And under 80 you start slowly blinking untill focus is gone.

Cant wait for it to be the next thermo

[dukeshade]

as long as it doesnt get instant Reflex it’ll be fine.

dude this just sounds cool as hell

[Slender]

I can finally make sekiro in AO

[Slender]

My favorite part of AO is how well you can cosplay other characters. So far I’ve made Mihawk, Akainu, Goku, Garou, and a couple lesser known characters
